HAC decides Vladimir Tsenov's fate: prosecutors demand 20 million bail

Court proceedings against police officer

A hearing is underway at the High Anti-Corruption Court premises, dedicated to determining the preventive measure for Vladimir Tsenov, who is identified in society by the nickname Price. The current National Police officer is suspected of facilitating the functioning of a criminal group.

Prosecutors are arguing that the court should select detention in a place of detention for the suspect. At the same time, they have proposed an alternative option — the possibility of paying a monetary bail, the amount of which should be 20 million hryvnias.

Context of the 'Carthage' case

It is worth noting that Vladimir Tsenov, who holds the position of First Deputy Head of the Department of Strategic Investigations in the National Police, has become a new participant in the criminal proceedings known as 'Carthage'. This case is being investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and concerns possible links between representatives of the criminal world and high-ranking officials from the Security Service of Ukraine, the National Police, and the General Prosecutor's Office.
